Year 1

Assalamu Alaikum Families,

Thankfully the start to the 2022 school year was not affected too much by Covid and we are well and truly into the swing of things in Year 1! In the Early Years Curriculum, students will continue to partake in a range of learning activities to consolidate their learning in a variety of ways.  Of course these activities are always interactive and fun, as you can see in the photos attached.

In English, Jolly Phonics has progressed to Jolly Grammar, where students are introduced to basic grammar rules, punctuation and terminologies such as nouns and verbs just to name a few!

This term in HASS we are learning about personal and family histories and in Science it is Living Things which is part of the Biological Science strand.  We have incorporated aspects of this learning into STEM projects which have been amazing.

The students have thoroughly enjoyed building gross motor skills via the Gymnastics program.  In The Arts, the students have been learning the theory behind famous artists and their artworks, as well as creating versions of their own using these techniques.  This will become part of their art folio that will be taken home at the end of the year insha’allah.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the support this term in regards to your child’s learning.

Wassalam

Mrs Fernandez & Mrs Panos
